The Night Unending

The Night Unending

Phenomenon type: Bubble (Motivation: To keep inside things in and outside things out)

The Night Unending is a magical curse which creates a pocket dimension that simulates an endless, all consuming night.

The Night Unending is based around a magical anchor, an item such as a mirror or a watch, which when interacted with transports the victim and people in the general vicinity into the pocket dimension. The anchor activates at night, usually tricking the victims into thinking they are still in the real world.

The Night Unending resembles the section of the real world around the anchor, extending a mile. The only initial indicator that something is wrong is there is no natural light; the sky is totally empty, with no moon or stars. There is also no power or electricity, no lights working at all, and of course aside from the people pulled in the plane is entirely absent of life.

The Night Unending does not last forever; after twelve hours the realm begins to break down, disintigrating back into the darkness, within 24 hours only an area left the size of a house, a few hours after there will only be a room, then after that nothing. After the Night Unending collapses, anyone still inside will be gone forever, utterly consumed by the darkness.

Weaknesses: There are two ways to escape the Night Unending. The first is to destroy the anchor, this will dispel the Night Unending and return the victims to the real world. Of course the key is even realizing that you aren’t in the real world before its too late.

The other method is to use a bit of light to cast a shadow, which can be used to create a door back to the real world. Since there is no naturally occurring light in the Night Unending, it must be done with a light source brought from outside, like a flash light or a cell phone.

The Silent Knight

The Silent Knight

Monster type: Executioner (Motivation: to punish the guilty)

The Silent Knight is a mystical knight who is the guardian of an ancient, frozen treasure.

The Knight wears ornate armor stained blue by the cold, and wields a powerful morningstar. He looks like he is was chiseled from a block of ice. Under the armor his skin of frostbitten and desiccated.

The treasure of the Silent Knight is left up to the Keeper. But its usually something immensely valuable or immensely powerful. Once its taken, the Knight will track the thief to the ends of the earth, and will slay the thief and take the treasure back. The Knight will destroy anything or anyone in its path.

Powers: Unnaturally cold, creates cold and ice all around them. Can track its treasure anywhere, immortal and undying.

Weapons: Icy Morningstar: 3 harm forceful, hand, messy

Armor: 3 (magic armor)

Harm Capacity: 8

Weakness: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures will cause the Silent Knight to thaw out and eventually go dormant, although he will revive when he becomes cold again.

He can be permanently destroyed if someone of royal blood relieves him of his duty. This will cause him to rot and then melt away like ice.

[crinosmonsters]

The Sorority of Sin

The Sorority of Sin

Monster type: Tempter (Motivation: To tempt people into evil deeds)

The Sorority of Sin is a group of seven Succubi sisters who each represent one of the seven deadly sins. They rarely work in tandem, instead each going out on their own in order to wreak as much havoc as they can by tempting people into evil deeds based on their sins.

The sisters are:

Gloria: Representing the sin of Pride, she presents herself as a life guru and spiritual advisor, acting as a patron to unsuspecting people and turning them into arrogant entitled snobs.

Trixie: Representing the sin of Greed, Trixie takes the guise of a banker or tech specialist, often pushing ponzi schemes and fads like cryptocurrency or NFTs, her schemes often make her victims rich, at the expense of everyone around them.

Katt: Pushy and violent, Katt represents the sin of Wrath. She often poses as a martial arts instructor, a gym coach, or a self defense teacher. In any case, she teaches her unfortunate students that violence and anger are the only answer to any problem.

Mimi: The sin of Envy, Mimi is an online influencer who singles out her victims and tries to outshine them at every opportunity, poisoning them with bitterness and resentment that makes them suspicious and spiteful.

Sophie: Sophie represents the sin of Sloth. She is a tireless and dutiful maid and servant who enters a victims life and does everything for them, slowly making them dependent on her as they work to isolate them from their friends and family.

Candy: The Sin of Gluttony, Candy is a friendly jovial chef who works hard to cook sumptuous meals for her victims, and encourage them to eat themselves into physical and often financial ruin.

Lillith: Last but not least is the unofficial leader of the Sorority, Lillith, the sin of Lust. She does pretty much what you expect of a Succubi, and leaves a string of broken hearts and ruined lives in her wake.

In their default state the sisters look like beautiful women with bat wings, horns and hooves.

Abilities: Shapeshifting, teleporting, can entice mortals with sinful thoughts and influence their actions.

Weapons: deadly nails 1 harm hand innocuous

armor: none

Harm Capacity: 7

Weaknesses: The sisters cannot cross a line of salt. Also they can be driven off with objects made of Silver. A Big Magic ritual can be used to banish them from the mortal plane, but only if all seven are in the same place at the same time. Luckily they always meet once a month to compare notes and share stories.

Holiday Horrors Day #23: Silence

Skipped ahead as I have had this one ready for a while. CW for relevance of abusive households

Angel of Silence

            Monster: Beast (motivation: to destroy all sound)

Once a Christmas tree topper, it was adorned in a family home of screams and verbal abuses where none knew a calm night. One of the victims in this household wished upon the angel for a silent night and their wish was granted. The Christmas angel destroyed anyone and anything in the house that made noise. Now, every year on the night of Christmas Eve, it waits for someone else to make the same wish.

The angel, when present, is human sized but maintains the appearance and rigidness of its decorative look. It will stay still as long as it hears no sound. When it does hear sound, it shifts across surfaces at a rapid pace and destroys via beams of lights from its face.

Powers

Rapid movement

Emit destructive beams

Really good hearing

Attacks: Radiant beams 5-harm close quick holy silent

Harm Capacity: 5. OOOOO

Weakness: One can hold a mirror up to the angel to reflect its beams, destroying itself.

Custom Move: When playing the game in-person, the Keeper should place at the table a decibel measuring device. If the players are responsible for any noise above 50 decibels, the angel will be summoned to their location. When in the same room as the angel, any noise above 30 decibels will result in the angel attacking the source of that noise.

Holiday Horrors Day #13: Displacement

Skógarhetta

            Monster: Collector (motivation: to lure away people into the dark)

Spirits that lurk in the dark parts of the pine forest. They are most active at night and especially in winter. They await at the edges of woods to lure people into the dark and stalk those lost in the woods at night. No one who has gone off with the spirits has ever returned. The skógarhetta are not known to enter into human settlements, staying at the edges of the fire’s light and waiting for it to go out. While they are talked of most often as a story to warn children from wandering away from home at night, they are sometimes attributed to missing person cases and why last year’s Christmas lights seemed to have burned out.

Victims who capture the attention of a skógarhetta are targeted with senses growing colder and darker with an ethereal nature to them, like reality changing to a new one.

Powers

Dark displacement: skógarhetta can affect the senses of a victim to make it easier to lure them into the dark.

Shadow walk: skógarhetta travel much faster in the dark

Attacks: Grasp & Drag 0-harm close restraining cold.

Harm Capacity: 8. OOOOOOOO

Weakness: They will try and escape direct light as quick as possible, finding it highly distressing as well as being vulnerable to attack when in direct light.

[student-loan-debt]

Holiday Horrors Day #12: Cold/Warmth

Nature hides from the winter solstice, hoping to hold back the cold and dark until spring. For those that huddle inside, family becomes the key to warmth and survival. Today we continue that practice not with a fear of survival but a fear of each other. Family can save one via warmth in the dark months, but families can bring their own coldness, one where few will make it to feel the warmth of spring again. A family can be fragile and key to survival, and so a target for some spirits.

Solstice Needler

            Monster: Torturer (motivation: to hurt and terrify)

A solstice needler infiltrates a family home near the time of the solstice, nesting inside for the winter. It sustains itself on the breaking down of the host family, little at first, poking like a pine needle, and escalating as it feeds. It prefers a cold social environment and achieves this by separating the family to bring down the warmth they feel for one another.

It nurtures resentment within the family via cluttering of the home, spoiling of food and water, relocation and damaging of items, and opening drafts to the outside. Following, it cultivates flavoring and nutrients via sharing of both concealed and fabricated information, boosting of egos and pride, drawing comparisons with others, and violating boundaries both set and unannounced. It carefully watches over to ensure that yelling does not spoil the crop and leads to growth, promoting a sustainable decay in chilling temperatures. Finally, it prepares for harvest in prodding the hosts into frequent violence until the family has entered a state of apoptosis to which it cannot recover from. Once that state has been reached, the hosts become susceptible to winter’s chill and die off.

Powers

Invisibility

Advanced manipulation

Attacks: Needle 0-harm hand irritating.

Harm Capacity: 2. OO

Weakness: A family that cultivates warmth via caring and love hinders a solstice needler, depriving it of nutrients. Warmer environments slow its metabolism, the creatures usually hibernating in summer weather.

[student-loan-debt]

Holiday Horrors #11: Reindeer

The Caribou Trench

            Phenomenon: Portal (motivation: to bring forth caribou)

A group of kids were digging up a hole in one of their backyards. One kid, the child of a witch, was excitedly thinking about Santa’s reindeer and got the others talking about them. The kid, never having seen a reindeer, wished to see some. The ground started shaking and, springing up from the dirt, was a caribou. More followed behind it and wouldn’t stop. Every few seconds, another caribou climbs out of the hole. The entire backyard is filled with them and they’re flooding out into the wider town. Reindeer are pooping everywhere, halting traffic, eating people’s meals in restaurants, and robbing all the jewelry stores because what are you gonna do about it? Stop an entire herd of caribou? If no one does anything, who knows how far they will spread.

Powers

Reindee-tour: the portal links directly to the reindeer dimension that consists entirely of reindeer and lichen.

Weakness: If the hole is covered up again, no more will enter. If one wants to lure all the caribou back, however, they will need to create the ultimate reindeer dinner. It has to be a large ball of herbs, ferns, grass, mushrooms, lichen, shrubbery, and lots and lots of oats. Every reindeer in the area will follow whoever is carrying the reindeer-ner and hopefully they don’t fall in the hole with all of them.

[crinosmonsters]

The Pane of Pain

The Pane of Pain

Phenomenon type: Zone (Motivation: To harm all who enter within)

The Pane of Pain is a magical pane of stained class designed to go into a church window, it depicts numerous saints being killed in various gruesome ways: Burned at the stake, dismembered, broken on the rack, and so forth. The Pane is actually inhabited by the spirit of a malicious demon, and will seek to destroy and corrupt others.

Once the Pane is installed in the window of a church, it will begin seeking out and killing members of the congregation; It does so by causing an invisible presence to follow them and arrange an accident that kills them in a manner similar to one of the saints depicted on the glass. On average, it kills one victim a month. Once it kills a victim, the pane will change to depict another type of horrible death.

Once the Pane is fed, it will begin to give its protection to the priests of the church; they will find themselves becoming incredibly wealthy and successful, and they will find that they become immune to legal consequences of any wrongdoings they commit; something will always happen to keep them from being caught; evidence will disappear, people will just forget, legal loopholes will get them off, or law enforcement will just look the other way. The Church staff will eventually become aware of the evil Pane being somehow responsible for it, and its up to them whether they try and rid themselves of the evil Pane or to protect it and reap the benefits.

Weaknesses: The Pane can only be destroyed by being smashed by a holy relic, something with true spiritual significance. Of course the real challenge is discovering the Pane at all, and then getting around their protectors and avoiding dying long enough to do so.

[crinosmonsters]

The Feasting Hall

The Feasting Hall

Phenomenon type: Bubble (Motivation: To keep things inside in, and things outside out)

The feasting hall is a liminal location that can manifest in different places, taking the form of an eatery of some sort, where it ensnares victims and then begins feeding them an endless feast.

The feasting Hall takes many forms: It can appear as a small family restaurant, a part of a popular fast food chain, a fine dining establishment, a cheesy kids pizzeria with animatronics, In every case though there’s always a sense of subtle wrongness to the place; words on the menu are strangely misspelled or give strange, off putting messages, the attendants always seem to stare a little too long, the layout of the restaurant doesn’t make any sense, or a strange smell in the air.

The supernatural effects of the Feasting Hall begin as soon as a victim begins eating their meals. The meals provided by the feasting Hall never end; plates never empty no matter how much food is eaten, and new plates are constantly brought out. At the same measure, the victims never feel full, and will continue eating perpetually as if in a trance.

If a victim does attempt to pull themselves away from the food for a moment, they will feel a mental tug that prevents them from wanting to leave. No matter what they will always justify staying in the restaurant to themselves, no matter how strong their will their resolve will eventually break. On top of that the desire to return to eating will always be present, and eventually it will overwhelm them and return them to their seat.

Time does not exist inside the Feasting Hall, the only measure of time is how fat victims grow from their endless eating. Eventually anyone who stays in the Feasting Hall will become a massive immobile blob unable to move. The hall is actually full of people like this, but are shielded by a mental screen that makes them invisible to newcomers. Its only after they begin eating and the trap has already closed around them do they notice the other patrons, that will soon be their future.

Weaknesses: Only someone who has not yet eaten the food of the restaurant can enter or leave of their own volition, and they have the ability to force out other patrons who have been enchanted by the food (Assuming they have not grown too large to get through the door). Once outside the victim returns to their senses and also will lose any excess weight they did not start has. (Generally speaking, most hunters will instinctively know something is wrong and not eat the food, unless they are a Hunter type who is supposed to get into trouble like the mundane). In addition, if someone who has eaten the food is fed real food from outside the Hall, they will temporarily regain their senses and be able to leave.

The only way to destroy the Feasting Hall is to sneak back into the kitchen and sabotage it, either by turning off the freezers, cutting off the gas to the ovens or releasing a bunch of bugs or rats on the premises, if this is done the flow of food will cease, and the Feasting Hall will be closed down by the cosmic health inspectors, and all victims returned to their homes of origin.

[crinosmonsters]

The Family

The Family

phenomenon type: Conspiracy (Motivation: To gather power, keep secrets, and create confusion)

The Family is a clan of nearly identical looking individuals characterized by platinum blonde hair and pale eyes. They are extremely insular, creepy, and always on the look out for new members of their “family.”

They will usually attempt to befriend and ingratiate themselves to new potential members, befriending them in a casual setting. Once they get their hooks into a victim though, they begin a campaign of isolation, manipulation, and gas lighting, culminating with abducting the victim to their home and initiating them into their family, once there they will begin an intensely strict and cruel regiment of abuse and torture to break the victim until they fully assimilate into their new role in the family. The victim will even be physically transformed by unknown means into an identical member of the family.

The Family generally consists of a Father, mother, and two to three kids. Elder members are sometimes also present, but are usually ignored and eventually die off from neglect.

Weakness: The family can be destroyed if their home is located and burned to the ground with them inside. However usually any potential victims who are in the process of being brainwashed must be found and released. After their house is destroyed the Family will either die in the flames or be exposed and arrested by the proper authorities.

Typical Family member

Minion type: Traitor (Motivation: To betray people)

This is a typical member of the family. It should be noted the family is more than just some sort of cult or family of slashers, the process seems to change them entirely into something otherworldly.

Abilities: Immune to pain and fear, surprisingly strong.

Weapons: improvised weapon, 1 harm, hand

Armor: 1 (can’t feel pain)

Harm capacity: 8

Weaknesses: Individual family members can be easily killed, but there always seems to be more.

[student-loan-debt]

Holiday Horrors #10: Bells

This one is a combo of monster and phenomenon.

Aczinor’i, Fallen Angel

            Monster: Sorcerer (motivation: to get their wings back)

Aczinor’i is among the most recent of angels to have fallen and wings stripped. This is their 49th Christmas away from Heaven and they seek to return via a ritual of the bells. For over a decade, they have snaked their way into a position of power within the National Football League (NFL) which holds the largest gathering of Americans on Christmas Day. They have organized a half-time show that will initiate the ritual using the tens of thousands in attendance.

As a being of the divine realm, they do not care about the impacts this ritual will have on the material realm, including the mass deaths and destruction so many bells ringing at once will cause. Material is merely a tool for them, including humanity, and they have learned how to be charismatic and authoritative enough to work such tools.

Powers

Enhanced speed

Angelic Charisma

Divine Strength

Attacks: Punch: 3-harm hand forceful.

Armor: Angelic beings cannot be hurt by non-divine weaponry.

Harm Capacity: 8. OOOOOOOO

Weakness: Holy (or unholy) weapons can kill the fallen angel.

Ritual of the Bells

            Phenomenon: Portal (motivation: to open a gateway to heaven)

As the saying goes, “Every time a bell rings, and angel gets its wings.” This is a distorted and very watered-down idea coming from the actual ancient ritual. It was once attempted at the Tower of Babel but stopped before it could commence, aimed at opening a gateway to heaven. The ritual requires vast numbers of people (“three score families”, which can range from 50k-80k individuals) all gathered in a single area at different elevations. In unison, all will ring a bell, shaking the fabric of reality as it opens a gateway into a different world. Aczinor’i intends to do this on Christmas when heaven and earth are at their closest to open it to heaven.

The ritual will happen via a half-time show with Mariah Carey singing “All I Want For Christmas Is You”. A moment will be held during her high note in the final chorus where the audience will be able to participate by ringing their bells all at the same time.

Powers

Gateway: When all the bells ring at once, the verberation will destroy everything around it, from people to structures to reality itself. Only Aczinor’i as a divine being will be capable of surviving the breakdown of material reality.

Weakness: No known weakness exists for closing a portal of this magnitude. For preventing the ritual, however, having less than 80% of the bells rung at the same time will make the verberation too weak to open a portal. It’ll still be destructive, but unable to open.

[crinosmonsters]

Mr. Nice

Mr. Nice

Monster type: Parasite (Motivation: To infest, control, and devour)

Mr. Nice is a strange figure: He resembles a man in casual dress with a large yellow smiley face in lieu of a head. Despite this, no one seems to find his appearance unusual; they just seem to ignore his strange head and accept him as a member of the community.

Mr. Nice is a psychic parasite who feeds on the more aggressive and hostile aspects of the human mind, slowly draining those feelings out of those he spends time around, until they are unable to experience or express any negative emotion; Fear, anger, worry, sadness, all become unavailable to Mr. Nice’s victims.

This may seem as a blessing at first, but eventually the horror of what he’s done will become apparent, as human beings cannot function without their full range of emotions. A person drained by Mr. Nice becomes a placid zombie, unable to defend themselves or even react to harmful and dangerous situations, a victim will sit in a burning house sipping their coffee and thinking “this is fine”, they will not even react if someone is murdered in front of them.

Which is good for Mr. Nice because once he feeds on his victims emotions and had his fill, he will turn on their bodies next, his round head splitting in half and opening to reveal a mouth filled with numerous rows of razor sharp teeth, with which he quickly and messily devours his prey.

Abilities: Seems normal to most people, drains the negativity from people around him.

Weapon: Deadly bite: 4 harm, Intimate, Messy, Slow

Armor: none

Harm Capacity: 7

Weaknesses: In order to defeat Mr. Nice, he must be weakened. This can only be done by being as friendly and positive around him as possible, to a sickening degree. No matter what he says or does, the hunters must show no outward negative response, even the slightest slip of the mask will give him the foothold he needs to try and drain them. Eventually though, the overwhelming positive emotions will sicken Mr. Nice, when his yellow head turns green, it means its time to strike.

[student-loan-debt]

Holiday Horrors #9: Presents

Graffitied Magi

            Monster: Tricksters (motivation: to gift chaos)

Statues of the three wise men from the Gospels. They were once part of a church’s nativity decorations but accidentally brought to life when edgy teenagers graffitied the set with satanic symbols. Unintentionally, it brought the statues to life. The three are larger-than-human sized simple bronze statues depicting kings. Each have their hands brought together at their chest to hold bowls. One statue’s bowl holds gold. Another holds frankincense. Another holds myrrh. The unmoving statues closely surround a victim, making it near impossible for the victim to escape. The victim is required to select one of the presents, upon which the Magi will disappear and the victim let free.

If one selects gold, the victim will become incredibly wealthy and influential. If one selects frankincense, they will achieve gnosis of the realities of the world and become incredibly wise. If one selects myrrh, they will be able to speak to the dead and possibly bring someone back to life. However, by the end of the week, all will find their presents swiftly reversed. Selection of gold will result in substantial debt, abject poverty, and isolation from all who know them. Selection of frankincense will cause one to undergo depersonalization and derealization followed soon by dementia. Selection of myrrh will burn up one’s soul as well as the soul of whomever they may have brought back to life and soon die, resulting not in an afterlife but oblivion.

Powers

Shift and Teleportation: The statues are inanimate and do not move, just like statues. However, the objects can shift across surfaces, spontaneously appear, and depart

Attacks: Bronze Cage 0-harm restraining, having themselves form a circle around their victim.

Armor: Made of metal, 2-armor

Harm Capacity: 5. OOOOO

Weakness: Exorcisms will revert the statues back to just being statues and undo the effects of their “gifts”. Optionally they can be physically destroyed, but the magic will still be in the world and current victims will still suffer.

[crinosmonsters]

Bakery Dragon

Bakery Dragon

Monster type: Beast (Motivation: To run wild, destroying and killing)

Bakery dragons are a race of tiny, cat sized green dragons that have adapted to urban life. They have a notorious sweet tooth, which leads them to gravitating towards bakeries, kitchens, and restaurants.

As long as the Bakery Dragon is well fed, they are relatively harmless, they hide in the walls or in ovens (they are impervious to heat) and will just nibble on baked goods and sweets; a missing muffin here, a bite taken out of a cookie there, they are shy and inoffensive by nature….until they get hungry.

If a Bakery dragon goes a week or so without eating something sweet, they undergo a startling metamorphosis; Their green scales turn red, and they grow from their tiny cat size to the size of a bus. In this state the Bakery Dragon is a wild rampaging monster who will gorge themselves on any sweets they find and destroy everything in their path. Only after devouring several hundred pounds of baked goods will they revert to their normal state.

Because of this, some more savvy bakers who become aware of their new house guest will intentionally leave out snacks for them. After all, a few ruined cookies is preferable to having your entire bakery smashed to dust by a rampaging dragon.

Abilities: Size changing, excellent sense of smell.

Weapons: Claws and teeth: 4 harm hand, Forceful, messy

Fire breath: 5 harm Area, close, fire

Armor: 3 (Dragon scales)

Harm capacity: 14

Weaknesses: There is one type of sweet that can instantly stop a Bakery Dragons rampage: Fruitcake. A tiny bite of fruitcake can change a rampaging Bakery dragon back to normal instantly.

[crinosmonsters]

The Wish List

The Wish list

Phenomenon type: Panic (Motivation: To make people act irrationally)

The Wish List is an assuming sheet of yellowed notebook paper, at the top written in red magic marker is the words “Wish List” and a blank numbered list beneath. The list’s origin is unknown, but is suspected to be the work of dark magic or a powerful demonic force.

If someone writes something they want on the Wish List, then their nearest loved one will immediately be compelled to get it for them no matter what. They will immediately drop whatever they are doing and go about getting the desired object or fulfilling the requested action. During this period the enchanted individual is unstoppable; they will not feel pain or die until the task is completed, and they will display superhuman abilities in doing so. If a little girl writes that they want to be a princess, their father will travel to the nearest monarchist nation and murder their way to the crown. If someone wishes they were a dinosaur, their loved one will break into a top secret genetics lab to steal the necessary technology to make that happen. The Wish List cannot create things out of nothing or change reality, but it will compel those under its thrall to find a way to make these things happen, usually in the most chaotic or destructive way possible.

Once an item on the wish list has been completed, it will be crossed out. There are 13 spaces for wishes on the wish list. Once all are filled, the Wish list will vanish and reappear somewhere else, blank to cause more havoc with wishes.

Weakness: To destroy the Wish List one most write down a wish that is literally impossible to grant, as in the granting of the wish created a paradox. If this is done the Wish List will catch fire and burn up, destroying it forever.

[crinosmonsters]

The Spirits collector

The Spirits collector

Monster type: Collector (Motivation: to steal specific sports of things)

The Spirits collector is an unscrupulous exorcist who specializes in capturing spirits and turning them into….spirits, as in the alcoholic kind of spirit.

The Spirits Collector travels from place to place, looking for unique and powerful spirits to bend to their will and capture, their weapon of choice are bottles made out of magical glass that spirits cannot pass through. One they capture a spirit, they take them back to their secret distillery (usually in some out of the way abandoned place) where they can render their spirit down into a drink. Rendering a spirit down in this manner effectively destroys them. The Spirits Collector then sells these spirits to the highest bidder.

Imbibing different spirits has different effects; if you drink a spirit that used to be a ghost, you gain their memories. If you drink an elemental or nature spirit, you gain powers based on the kind of spirit. Drinking a demon or angel can transform you into a similar creature.

The Spirit Collectors ultimate goal is to track down and capture a truly powerful spirit, like a genie or an ancient god. Drinking such a spirit could give the collector vast power and make them even more dangerous.

Abilities: can compel and contain spirits into bottles, can render spirits down into drinks with various magical effects.

Weapons: Fire elemental molotovs: 4 harm area, far, fire, magic, many, reload, small

Armor: none

Harm Capacity: 7

Weaknesses: To defeat the Spirits collector, one must find his secret lair and destroy his distillery, and release the unprocessed spirits from their bottles. Destroying the distillery will prevent the collector from creating more spirits. Freeing the spirits will cause them to swarm the collector en mass, overpower them, and tear them apart.
